Periodontal disease may result in chronic inflammation and bacteremia in some people. The study aimed to evaluate the connection between periodontal disease and macular degeneration.
The specialist dental surgeon conducted the dental examination using a community periodontal index probe. An ophthalmologist performed the eye examination. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was identified through specific criteria such as the existence of particular types of drusen and pigmentary abnormalities.
Two hundred participants were part of the study. According to the data, factors such as advanced age, limited education, low income, hypertension, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) presence were strongly linked to AMD in all participants.
Multiple studies have indicated a connection between periodontitis in the mouth and macular degeneration in individuals under 60 years of age.
牙周疾病可能会在一些人身上导致慢性炎症和菌血症。该研究旨在评估牙周疾病与黄斑变性之间的联系。
专业牙科外科医生使用社区牙周指数探针进行牙科检查。眼科医生进行眼部检查。通过特定标准,如特定类型的玻璃膜疣的存在和色素异常,来确定年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)。
200名参与者参与了该研究。根据数据,高龄、教育程度有限、低收入、高血压、心血管疾病(CVD)以及乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)的存在等因素在所有参与者中都与AMD密切相关。
多项研究表明,60岁以下人群口腔中的牙周炎与黄斑变性之间存在联系。
